Erica Thimsen, founder of Helping Hand Parties & Weddings, brings over a decade of heartfelt expertise to every celebration she plans—whether it’s a cozy backyard wedding or a 1,000-guest destination affair. Her joy comes from watching her couples experience the best day of their lives, knowing she helped bring that moment to life.
Erica believes great planning is rooted in passion, creativity, and a servant’s heart. “It’s not just about logistics—it’s about crafting experiences that truly reflect each couple’s story,” she shares.
Her career is decorated with industry accolades, including multiple Knot Best of Weddings and WeddingWire Couple’s Choice awards. In 2023, she was named one of the 50 Most Influential Wedding Professionals globally by Eventex. One standout honor? Being one of just ten U.S. planners asked to contribute ideas for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s royal wedding.
For Erica, it’s always about creating meaningful, unforgettable moments—one celebration at a time.
